YES, we would have conceded less goals and more clean sheet, with Bailly and Maguire as our CB pairing.

Who would you prefer as your last man to mark Aguero?
Baily OR Lindelof?

Even with Lindelof's improvement, Baily is still better.... I will even pick Smalling ahead of Lindelof.

Baily's issue is just injury, if he can stay fit................Lindelof will always be on the bench

Maybe you should just mention a defensive attribute that Lindelof has more than Baily ( Tackling, Aerial duels, Interceptions, Confidence on ball etc)

Herbiedeen:

Bros, read my reply again
i never questioned Baily's ability over Lindelof's
Would you rather have a good player who plays 15 games in a year and spend the rest nursing an injury over an average player who is consistent and improves everytime

Why do you think Madrid are looking to offload Bale at all cost?? isn't he good enough to boss any team in the world with his ability

sylvalord:
How can you prove that?

Chrisus:


There’s actually no way to prove that

Expert17:

Okay.
A fit Bailly is better than Lindelof.
Bale issue is totally different

sylvalord:
Lindelof has been very good at CB this season. He has improved a lot and he is going to improve more. He has not been dribbled past this season

Danhumprey:
How come no one has mentioned or given credit to Kagawa for the way he raved about this Donny van de Beek guy?


Come on now, guys.

Expert17:




We have to wait for Bailly's return.

Then we can compare

sylvalord:
You disagree?

handelex:
Lindelof reads the game better but is too passive, dude is always bullied, but Bailly na crase man, very aggressive and thoughtless atimes... if he can stay fit and reduces those his sudden blood rush then it will be hard for a manager to pick lindelof over him. Both are different types of defenders by the way with much room for improvement.

GloryIsaac:
What really matters is their playing style, roles on the pitch and how they can compensate Maguire to form a solid defensive pair. Sort of a Ferdinand and Vidic thing.

Expert17:


Read FIRE....

Someone that can't judge the movement of ball in the air and many other stuffs like that

handelex:
I prefer Bailly over Lindelof anyday and time too, but Bailly loses concentration at times and in using his pace and physicality to make amends he rushes into tackles and often comes off worse(injured) .....Lindelof is known as the Iceman for a reason

Expert17:


Lindelof speaking : I actually don’t know why I’ve gotten that nickname! I think it’s a mix of how I seem from the outside. I’m quite a private person. I’m not very fond of sharing too much. I also think it’s because I’m quite calm on the field.''

Expert17:
Talking about Eric Bailly

He signed for United exactly 4 years ago today

Herbiedeen:

Seriously, how many games has Pogba, Neymar and Kane missed through injury since they joined their present club compared to Baily's

And nobody is disputing his ability, but compared to Lindelof's consistency and improvment, he is way below........and apparently you only made mention of just one match while Lindelof has been bossing most times even more than Maguire

CapitalCee:


Sorry sir, but apart from early season settling in into a new team. Maguire has been head and shoulder above Lindelof, watch our matches very closely, you will see the sort of quality defender Maguire is, apart from early season hiccups, Maguire has clearly proven to be better than every single defender we have had since the retirement of Rio and Vidic. Lindelof on the other hand has been shaky, not just one match, versus Southampton away is another one, too much misplaced passes to no man's land and lacking g in aerial presence. He can improve but we need quality.
